C5621 and C33 User Guide 1 Product Overview C5621 and C33 are Mobile Broadband Modules (see photo below) for UMTS and GSM. They enable host device users to have flexible and high speed mobile access to the Internet or corporate network, including “always online” capability. They support data services through HSPA Evolution, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS, and Data message service. C5621 has a GPS receiver which is working with most common positioning applications.
C5621 and C33 User Guide With the C5621 and C33 Mobile Broadband Module installed in a host device, it is always available for data transfer. Connection settings are automatically configured based on the SIM card. The user simply clicks the “Connect” button to make an Internet connection. Parameter settings suitable for many networks are included and can be configured if needed to facilitate manual configuration where required.
C5621 and C33 User Guide 2 Communication The C5621 and C33 Mobile Broadband Modules keep end users up to date by providing them the best available mobile service wherever they are. C5621 and C33 are dual mode devices, able to connect via UMTS/HSPA and GSM/GPRS/EDGE. The user will remain connected without having to think about what system is being used – the handover between two systems and network technologies is automatically managed by C5621 and C33.
C5621 and C33 User Guide 2.1.1.3 WCDMA The initial implementation of 3G networks enables Internet or corporate network access at bidirectional data rates of up to 384 kbps. 2.1.2 2G GSM/GPRS coverage is available in almost all populated areas of the world and provides a secure fall back so that network connection is maintained. 2.1.2.1 GPRS GPRS is an enhancement to GSM networks and provides packet data transmission.
C5621 and C33 User Guide 2.2.3 GPS The Global Positioning System (GPS) gives the positioning information around the globe and can be used together with the most commonly used positioning applications. The positioning data from the C5621 module can be used together will all major positioning applications to, for example, show locations on maps, trace routes, give information on how to get to a destination, etc. The product may have GPS function.

On top of the Windows 7 drivers is located a smaller WMCore service, which handles module functionality not handled by the Microsoft’s Mobile Broadband API. The functionality handled by the service can be reached through the Ericsson Mobile Broadband C++ API.
C5621 and C33 User Guide 7.1.3 Linux driver architecture Ericsson is a part of the Linux community to continuously improve the support in GNU/Linux for Ericsson Mobile Broadband Modules, please see [7] for more information. The module firmware provides WDM (Wireless Mobile Communications Device Management) interfaces for device management and ACM (Abstract Control Module) interfaces for control and data traffic. The module exposes ACM ports, which can be used for GPS, Connection Manager and SMS.
C5621 and C33 User Guide 7.2 Connection Profile List In Windows XP and Vista, the WMCore service includes a list with connection profiles which can be used by connection managers when setting up connections. The profile list contains a list of default network operator APN which is automatically selected by the connection manager depending on the detected UICC card. The matching between APN and UICC card is done based on the MCC and MNC (2 or 3 digit).
C5621 and C33 User Guide 7.4 State machine The state machine focuses on the main states of the module; states of the mobile radio (Radio On/Off) and the GPS radio (GPS On/Off). The transitions in the state machine that require the Software (radio) and GPS to be enabled can be made using the WMCore service (recommended) or AT commands directly. In Windows 7, several of the transitions are caused by the WWAN (Network) driver.
C5621 and C33 User Guide 7.5 Service Windows Registry Keys The Ericsson WMCore service uses Windows Registry Keys to control the module behavior during OS power-state changes. Windows TCP/IP settings can also be optimized automatically when installing the drivers. When using the Ericsson Mobile Broadband C++ API there is no need to manually control the registry settings, however, integrators opting for using the module without the API could use these.
